A modeling and experimental study of capacity fade for lithium-ion batteries
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Lithium-ion batteries are extensively used in electric vehicles, however, their significant degradation over discharge and charge cycles results in severe capacity fade, limiting driving ranges of electric vehicles over ... -
Modeling and predicting mobile phone touchscreen transcription typing using an integrated cognitive architecture
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-09-07)Modeling typing performance has values in both the theory and design practice of human-computer interaction. Previous models have simulated desktop keyboard transcription typing performance; however, as the increasing ... -
Modeling and Stabilizability of Voltage-Actuated Piezoelectric Beams with Magnetic Effects
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2014-01-01)Models for piezoelectric beams and structures with piezoelectric patches generally ignore magnetic effects. This is because the magnetic energy has a relatively small effect on the overall dynamics. Piezoelectric beam ... -
Modeling congestion and service time in hub location problems
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)In this paper, we present a modeling framework for hub location problems with a service time limit considering congestion at hubs. Service time is modeled taking the traveling time on the hub network as well as the handling ... -
Modeling Driver Take-Over Reaction Time and Emergency Response Time using an Integrated Cognitive Architecture
(SAGE, 2019-12-01)Drivers’ take-over reaction time in partially automated vehicles is a fundamental component of automated vehicle design requirements, and take-over reaction time is affected by many factors such as distraction and drivers’ ... -
Modeling Fenestration With Shading Devices In Building Energy Simulation: A Practical Approach
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2009-07)The use of operable shading devices impacts building loads significantly. The need exists for an explicit treatment of window shading devices in the design of energy efficient buildings through simulation. A general framework ... -
Modeling of Body Weight Metrics for Effective and Cost-Efficient Conventional Factor VIII Dosing in Hemophilia A Prophylaxis
(MDPI, 2017-12-01)The total body weight-based dosing strategy currently used in the prophylactic treatment of hemophilia A may not be appropriate for all populations. The assumptions that guide weight-based dosing are not valid in overweight ... -
Modeling of carbon dioxide dissolution in an injection well for geologic sequestration in aquifers
(Elsevier, 2021-04-15)Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration is considered to be one of the most effective technologies of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. In this technology, single phase supercritical CO2 is injected into an underground ... -
Modeling of Microplastic Emission, Transport, and Retention in Urban Stormwater Ponds
(University of Waterloo, 2024)Urban areas are the major sources of microplastics to the environment, given their high concentration of people, road traffic, and mismanaged waste. Stormwater runoff, one of the major carriers of urban-derived MPs to ... -
Modeling Patient Treatment With Medical Records: An Abstraction Hierarchy to Understand User Competencies and Needs
(JMIR, 2017-07-28)Background: Health care is a complex sociotechnical system. Patient treatment is evolving and needs to incorporate the use of technology and new patient-centered treatment paradigms. Cognitive work analysis (CWA) is an ... -
Modeling the exposure of wild fish to endocrine active chemicals: Potential linkages of total estrogenicity to field-observed intersex
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Decades of studies on endocrine disruption have suggested the need to manage the release of key estrogens from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). However, the proposed thresholds are below the detection limits ... -
Modeling the Modal Shift towards a More Sustainable Transport by Stated Preference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
(MDPI, 2021-01-01)The need to gain a comprehensive understanding of road travelers’ choice of mode and their perceptions of using sustainable urban mobility modes have evolved to shape the form of future transport planning and policymaking. ... -
Modelling and optimal energy-saving control of automotive air-conditioning and refrigeration systems
(Sage, 2017-02-01)Air-conditioning and refrigeration systems are extensively adopted in homes, industry and vehicles. An important step in achieving a better performance and a higher energy efficiency for air-conditioning and refrigeration ... -
Modelling and optimization of a pilot-scale entrained-flow gasifier using artificial neural networks
(Elsevier, 2019-12-01)This paper explores the construction and validation of an artificial neural network (ANN) in order to accurately and efficiently predict the performance of a pilot-scale gasifier unit. This ANN model consists of multiple ... -
Modelling farmer choices for water security measures in the Litani river basin in Lebanon
(Elsevier, 2019-01-10)Lebanon is facing an increasing water supply deficit due to the increasing demand for freshwater, decreasing surface and groundwater resources and malfunctioning water governance structures. Technological and policy changes ... -
Modelling Interactions Between Forest Pest Invasions And Human Decisions Regarding Firewood Transport Restrictions
(Public Library of Science, 2014-04-15)The invasion of nonnative, wood-boring insects such as the Asian longhorned beetle (A. glabripennis) and the emerald ash borer (A. planipennis) is a serious ecological and economic threat to Canadian deciduous and mixed-wood ... -
Modelling Legacy Nitrogen Dynamics in the Transboundary Lake Erie Watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-16)Lake Erie is a source of drinking water, recreation, and commercial opportunity for both the United States and Canada, making the protection of its water quality essential. In the past decades, Lake Erie's ecosystems have ... -
